Oooh, links. Awesome, thanks! I have some reading to do. :) I looked over http://www.boardreviews.com/reviews/snowboards/donek_frames.htm and I'm really liking the Donek Axis all the more. It seems to be an excellent compromise of alpine to freeride. Now I just have to look into the Prior. Coiler is...

My shoe size is ~9US, (~42 Euro, at least in my Birks). What's your shoe size such that you would recommend a 23cm width? What cm width would you recommend for me? Ah, OK I see. I could do the type of deal in the 'Stoked' movie, but not really the type of tighter, linked turns seen in the 'preview (...

Buying a board for this season. Questions, please comment!

I'll be getting a board for this season. I've been renting for a while now and I'm sick of getting a newbieish board and beat-up boots. Hea, maybe it's just the place I'm renting from.
